Project Description

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation retained Ayres to participate in the design and public involvement for the reconstruction of the US 51/STH 29 corridor from Foxglove Road to Bridge Street in Marathon County.

  • Prepared preliminary and final roadway design for portions of the STH 29 West interchange in conjunction with two other consultant teams.
